Job Description
We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to support the development, deployment, automation, monitoring, and security of our cloud-based infrastructure and software delivery pipelines.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with CI/CD, cloud platforms, containers, infrastructure as code, and operational monitoring. In addition, this role requires a solid understanding of DevSecOps practices, including secure CI/CD pipelines, vulnerability scanning, secrets management, infrastructure hardening, and security-aware automation.
This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to grow into a more senior DevOps or DevSecOps role while working closely with engineering, security, and product teams.

Monitor system performance, reliability, availability, and scalability.
Troubleshoot deployment, infrastructure, networking, and environment issues.
Support development, staging, and production environments.
Automate repetitive operational tasks using scripting and configuration management tools.
Help improve deployment speed, system reliability, and operational efficiency.
Integrate security checks into CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, container image scanning, and IaC scanning.
Support vulnerability management processes by identifying, triaging, and helping remediate security findings.
Assist with secure secrets management using tools such as Vault, cloud secret managers, or CI/CD secret stores.
Apply security best practices for cloud infrastructure, containers, networks, and access control.
Help maintain least-privilege IAM policies and secure access patterns.
Support audit, compliance, and security documentation where required.
Collaborate with engineering teams to promote secure development and deployment practices.
Monitor systems for security-relevant events and assist with incident response activities.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent practical experience.
